The West Virginia Attorney General said he is sending warning letters to landlords who are threatening to evict tenants who can’t pay rent during the coronavirus pandemic. The Gazette-Mail reported Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said a landlord cannot evict a tenant without first filing a petition for eviction in magistrate or circuit court and a tenant would have the right to contest any eviction. A tenant’s removal can only come with a judgement from the court. Any tenant receiving an eviction letter or threat from a landlord can contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Hotline at 800-368-8808.
